Compared to last week, weights under 650 to lightly tested for a comparison, 650 to 800 lbs steers sold steady to 7.00 higher with all other weights 1.00 to 2.00 lower. Heifers from 600 to 750 lbs sold 2.00 to 5.00 higher with all other weights trending 2.00 to 4.00 lower. Demand was good from mostly order buyers at the sale with active buying from internet buyers. CME feeder cattle and live cattle closed the day on a positive side with corn closing down some might have helped Wednesday sale. Light feedlot trade on Wednesday afternoon with live sales from 140.00-142.00 and dressed sales 224.00-228.00.
